Yelp Buying Euro Rival For $50M

Thinking global, Yelp has agreed to buy Qype -- its biggest European rival -- for about $50 million in cash and stock. With Qype, Yelp will be able to boast 93 million monthly unique visitors and
32 million reviews, Yelp’s CEO Jeremy Stoppelman said in a blog post. Reasons TechCrunch: “That should help Yelp compete better against the likes of Google, which combines its search,
listings, user feedback and maps into a powerful product to rival that of Yelp’s.”
